Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/129336800580322/

It’s been a while since we’ve had much activity as a Youth Council, however, this is about to change. Today we had a meetup with a group of young people interested in joining and making Romsey the place it should be for Young People.

From this we’ve set a date for our next meeting: Tuesday 19th March, 18:00-19:30 @ Youth in Romsey. The meeting is open to anyone who’s interested in joining. For the near future we will be concentrating on the Beggars Fair Youth Festival. But we have other projects starting and if you have something you want additional support for, come along and tell us!

Beggars Fair 2013 Youth Stage

Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been asked (a lot), what’s happening with the Beggars Fair stage? Can band/artists apply to play yet? among others.

We are planning to go ahead once again this year and will open for applications from bands/artists in a few weeks. If you’d like to get involved with the organisation and running of the event, we’d love to hear from you!

If you have any further questions please [contact us]. We’re a friendly bunch, promise!

We have uploaded some pictures that we got on the day to our gallery.

Hopefully we will be able to get support for running the event in 2012 due to there being a lot of time and effort put in even before the day we are always looking for new members and of course financial support to put these sort of events together. If you are interested in joining us or just fancy a chat to see what it’s all about drop us an email to contact@ryc.org.uk.

Once again we have the lovely big stage booked, lots of brilliant music and some stalls from Naomi House who we are supporting again this year. Also joining us in the park will the the Romsey Arts Group.

As you may be aware, the weather has been typical British weather (rain) however we are still hoping to go ahead with the festival. To keep updated with any changes or announcements please follow our Twitter and Facebook Page. We shall post/tweet at the very latest Friday (13th July 2012) at 1pm stating whether the event is definitely on/off.

If you have any questions please contact us by Email (contact@ryc.org.uk) or if you know + have Ben Evans’s phone number, use that.

We are also going to be popping into Romsey and Mountbatten Schools in the near future to hold meetings for anyone interested in joining us or just helping out at the odd event but we shall keep you informed about when they are here, on Facebook and on Twitter.

First of all we are currently one of Waitrose’s (Romsey) charities for December, so when you are shopping there make sure you get a green token and drop it in the Romsey Youth Council Section! The money that we get will be going directly towards the Beggars Fair Youth Stage 2012 and possibly a few Youth Gigs at The Lantern (Mountbatten School) beforehand.

Beggars Fair comes round very quickly as there is a lot of work in making it happen, If you would like to help we will be having a meetup in January and will be inviting new members along.

If you are interested in playing please get in touch with us across facebook, twitter, email (contact@ryc.org.uk) or by speaking to any of our members.

To keep updated make sure to follow us on Twitter (@RomYouCou) and Facebook 

If you would like to donate some of your time on the day to help with this event please contact us using the form on the ‘Contact Us’ page.
